DA2 is very old, so I'm afraid that's not going to happen... sorry!

FransBouma

I know you probably have tones of new games on your schedule, but I was wondering if there is a chance you will ever make a camera for Dragon Age 2? if it's even possible to make one for that game as it's older... :)

Maja Misak

Bahahahah ok gotcha. Thank you for the reply anyhow and the laugh.

T B

Heh, no I'm not going to add anything to this camera. Adding lights to a frostbite game is also a cumbersome affair as they have to be passed to the engine in a complicated way (as the engine itself doesn't support dynamically created lights at runtime). So that's sadly not in the cards.

FransBouma

Hello! I was wondering if I could commission something from you for this game to add to the camera you already have created? I really have become spoiled with the lights you added on your newer cameras <3

T B

Oh, thank you! It's been a while since I've played DAI, not since long before origin swapped to the EA app, so I wasn't aware that was a thing that could cause issues!

Grace

Be sure to disable the EA overlay in the EA app. It re-enables it from time to time so you have to periodically check that

FransBouma

Hey, i adore your cameras, but ive found that whenever I try to launch the DAI one, it makes the game unselectable (unable to tab back in) and when I use the fullscreen mode in hot sampling, it causes the game to freeze. I've not had this issue with the bg3 or veilguard camera before and I'm unable to figure out what might cause it!

FransBouma

Completely understand if not, but is there any chance of a camera for mass effect andromeda? I think it’s in the same engine as DAI, but again completely get it if not! Thank you so much for all the work you do :)

renni

Why is it minimized? Run the game windowed (from the game settings), then click on 'Fake fullscreen' on the hotsample tab in the igcsclient to get a fullscreen window. That way the game won't minimize

FransBouma

Hello ! When I launch flycam my game is minimized (normal) but it's then impossible to open the game back up to full size. Both the Otis programme & inquisition stop responding from what task manager says (although the game still moves etc I just can't click on it). The screen size that is picked up in the Otis programme isn't the right one and when I try to change it it crashes. If I close the programme then I can open DAI back up to normal size. Frosty, DAI and flycam are launched as admin. Any idea what is causing this ? I use your flycam in DA Veilguard and everything works perfectly

Arvella Silverclaw

I think you replied to the wrong dragon age thread, but the answer is likely that sadly there's no fix: the high lod is a forced lod setting in the engine. In rare cases it bugs, which is something I can't fix: the LOD enforced on some model results in a model being rendered that's incomplete or not valid, so you get these triangles. I have seen it in 1 location so far

FransBouma

Thanks for this. Boost Higher LODs causes strange black triangles to appear on the screen. Is there any way to fix it? I'm playing with every settings max out + RT.

Night Walker

I've got it working! Apparently, even though I was running Frosty and the camera tools as administrator, the game .exe itself wasn't set as such. Enabling it to run as admin fixed it. Thank you! I'm so excited to take even more screenshots than before :D

dalish-rogue

Could you try without frosty, so run the game normally? It works here, you don't have any errors so something is conflicting

FransBouma

Yes, I've double-checked both of those things to no avail :(

dalish-rogue

Be sure to press the Insert key next to the backspace. Also, double check if the EA app hasn't re-enabled the overlay again (it does that randomly :( )

FransBouma

Hello, thank you so much for sharing this! I've been using your BG3 camera and I love it. However, I'm a bit at a loss on how to get this one to work -- my EA overlay is disabled, I'm running the camera tools as administrator (since I run the game through Frosty), but when I press insert nothing happens. Initializing... Dxgi Present hooked successfully (DX11) Camera system:: All interception offsets found. Hud system:: All interception offsets found. Pause system:: All interception offsets found. Image Quality system:: All interception offsets found. Initialization completed. Waiting for camera struct interception... Camera found. HUD hidden HUD visible I'm able to toggle the HUD, but unable to actually enable the camera. Any help would be appreciated, I'd so love to use this <3

dalish-rogue

Thanks

Wanderer and his Shadow

Thank you very much for you quick answer and the insight behind the scences ( "filters out the events before they reach the camera tools"- interesting didn't know that)! It drove me crazy that i didn't know why I couldn't get the camera to move with the mouse.

Mrs. Risibisi

Camera movement with mouse (LMB / RMB + mousemovement) doesn't work, sadly, the game filters out the events before they reach the camera tools, and it's very complicated atm to obtain them before teh game does.... Mouse rotation works here tho. It's sadly not fixable atm.

FransBouma

hm, same for me now that you mention it (and now that i fixed my pebcak error i hope.) tried with gamepad turned on in game and without. gamepad and keyboard work, mouse doesn't, regardless of what the input device is set to in the camera tools or the game. i'll still gladly use it keyboard only so my game doesn't CTD every 30 seconds like with DAI CT though πŸ˜…

margaret faye

Hi Otis, thanks a lot for your camera mods. I'm using quite a few of them without any problems so far. But now I have a problem which I can't solve: usually the camera is connected to the mouse which is great and much faster to make the set up for a screenshot but with the DAI camera mod I can't move the camera with the mouse. Camera movement via the keyboard works as it should and described in your readme. Only cosmetic mods installed/using Frosty modmanager and DAI modmanager/ everything is updated/ no game overlays active. Do you have a tip for me?

Mrs. Risibisi

it was the overlay, i could've sworn it was already off bc it interferes with multiple mods on multiple games but it must've reset itself as you said πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ thank you!!

margaret faye

you have the latest game version from the EA store? You have disabled the in-game overlay in the EA app? (you have to do this, otherwise it'll crash/hang, and it will regularly reset to 'ON', sadly, so you have to check this)

FransBouma

sooo unfortunately i tried setting it all up today and i can't get it to work. :/ what i've tried: -setting all graphics settings as low as possible -updating video drivers -removing all other mods -using reshade 5.9.2 instead of the latest version as another commenter suggested -running camera tools as admin no matter what I do, as soon as I inject the DLL, the in-game shadows get lighter and more distinct for a few moments and then the game hangs indefinitely (this program is not responding). no error messages in the dll log (i can pastebin the whole thing if you'd like)

margaret faye

thank you!! been doing a replay just now and struggling to hell with DAI CT, wish i'd waited a week bc then these would have existed when i looked for them T_T

margaret faye

No problem. I have options. Thanks.

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

The code is there, but the mouseclicks are filtered out before they reach the tools. So button down events won't reach it, hence it doesn't register that you have the LMB or RMB down when moving the mouse. So this is something that might be fixable if I dig through the engine and lift mouse clicks there but honestly that's a lot of work so I don't think this will be fixed.

FransBouma

I just checked and yes, the num pad keys work. But after decades of using a mouse and keyboard to control a camera, it's not very comfortable. haha. Thanks!

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

That should work just fine. I'll check tomorrow. Numpad keys don't work?

FransBouma

Yeah, I know it's not bound to WASD, but in all your other cameras I've used I can use the right mouse button to fly the camera around. Does that not work here?

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

Camera isn't bound to wasd tho, it's bound to the usual keys on the numpad

FransBouma

I just tested it all again, and yeah same results as before. Here's the info in my log tab. When I press insert I get the message the camera is enabled. The WASD keys would move my character but the camera wouldn't move. The keyboard arrow keys change where the camera is looking, but not its position. And using the mouse buttons doesn't do anything. Initializing... Dxgi Present hooked successfully (DX11) Camera system:: All interception offsets found. Hud system:: All interception offsets found. Pause system:: All interception offsets found. Image Quality system:: All interception offsets found. Initialization completed. Waiting for camera struct interception... Camera found.

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

this worked! thank you so much!!!

thewonderspirit

If you run the game from frosty, it runs as admin, so you have to run the igcsclient as admin as well

FransBouma

hi! thank you for the amazing tool! for some reason, when i open the .exe with the game open, it doesn't identify it at all. am i missing a step anywhere?

thewonderspirit

I think there's a mod for that on nexus. :)

FransBouma

Thanks alot for this one. It's nice to see something like this even for an older title. Love to have toggles for DOF and Vignette, plus the shadow and LOD increase options in addition to the other stuff. I really appreciate it. One thing I have no clue if it's possible to integrate as well but if so it would be great, is a toggle for 60 fps cutscenes (instead of the 30 capped ones). If not possible or to difficult no worries as there is an other workaround. It's just an idea and it would be super nice to have all the options in one tool :)

Dominik

You don't get any errors in the log tab? You are *absolutely sure* you have the EA overlay disabled? If you press insert, you get a notification the camera is enabled?

FransBouma

That's thing, I can't move the camera at all after pressing insert. If it's just like your other tools, I should be able to hold the right mouse button to move the camera anywhere I want, but it doesn't move at all.

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

yeah I mean I run BG3 on highest settings and use your DOF and hotsampling with no issues. I dont know maybe depends on our hardware or GPU or it could me something in my drivers settings etc.. I on AMD card. but I browsed reshade reddit and official forums and other ppl reported crashes with newer versions too. so far 5.9.2 works for me in this game so I'll stick with that lol. thanx again beside that little hitch at the start the camera works great! :)

Maja Misak

Hmm, odd! this game isn't demanding at all for today's hardware so that can't be it...

FransBouma

yeah I never have game overlay on.. or any other overlays. and I only have your addon installed as far as I know.. I wrecked my brain trying to figure out what the issue is... so far reshade version was the only thing that seamed likely to me. I just checked when I go to addons tab I have your IGCS connector and another one called Generic Depth that was there and enabled by default.. I dont know if bringing down settings might help. I have everything set on ultra and textures of fade touched setting. maybe it's to demanding but my PC is pretty strong.. I am also using FilmicSharpen in reshade dunno if that could be the problem

Maja Misak

I use the latest reshade and it works fine? You did disable the in-game overlay in the ea app? Or did you enable other reshade addons which might cause problems?

FransBouma

after further testing I think it might be the reshade. seams all versions over 6+ crash much more, I reverted to 5.9.2 and it seams to cress much less almost not at all...

Maja Misak

Tested it out and camera itself works great.. unfortunately I have tones of crashes when trying to use IGCS. Usually while I am setting up the session and blur.. it crashes almost every time while setting up blur focus... I did manage to render out few shots before it crashed so it's not like it doesn't work at all.. but it crashes to often to use :( I tried with both 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 same thing :( dunno what could the problem be. I usually never had crash problems with DAI and it doesn't happen with camera only either so I'm pretty sure DOF is the issue... --------------------------- EDIT: this is new info written after my further replies underneath, but after even more testing for a week it turns out it wasn't even a reshade version, it was my AMD Radeon chill that was on limiting my frames to 60fps. I didn't realize at first because I turned it off at the same time I reinstalled older reshade version. but when I tried to turn it back on the crashing started again instantly. so yeah if any of you use Radeon Chill that could be reason for your crashing :)

Maja Misak

Press insert to enable the camera, otherwise you move the camera as if it's in game. When you press insert, you should be able to move the camera freely

FransBouma

Yes

FransBouma

I feel like I've done everything right, but when I press insert, even though it indicates camera has been enabled, I can't move the camera at all. if press the Numpad decimal, I still can't move the camera when loading from the EA app directly, but when loading to the EA app through Steam, the camera does start moving but it's just like playing the game; The camera is targeted on the player character and moves along with the character. I have the EA overlay disabled. I don't know if the game is being launched in Administrator mode but I've tried launching your tool both ways and just get the same behavior. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Dave 'Durghan' Wilson

omg so happy you made this, was planing a replay before Veilguard drops!! Another camera tool for DAI exists so I didn't want to bother you in the past asking about this but I was hoping you will release it one day lol! :) and nice of you to make it free for everyone too! Thanx!!! :) question about DOF... do we install your IGCS Depth of Field in same way as for other games??

Maja Misak

This is the sign I was wating for to star a new game XD

Ingra

So happy, genuinely. Was lamenting last week about how the old, existing tools were extremely limiting and hard to use to the point I couldn't. REALLY happy for this and hopefully it avoids the issues they gave me. Thank you!!

Dad

You absolute god, bless you

Vespaer

OH! That's amazing! Thank you very much!

Ladyinthebluebox

Thank you thank you thank you. You're amazing!
